when i first started out, matt told me that it would only cost $750 and we would be set.

i tell my wife this and go ahead purchase my $750 kayak.

since then i have gone thru four kayaks, several fish finders, four "new" reels, four new rods, tons of weights, hooks, beads, line, a bait tank, wheels, rack, turbo fins, pdf, paddle, and probably some other items that i have forgotten about.

and i still have a few other items that i am about to get. so in the end yes, this sport is not as "cheap" as you may originally think. it is a hobby and like all hobbies it usually cost more than we would really like. but it is also relative; what one may say is expensive another guy says it is reasonable. but even so, i have enjoyed it and will continue to.

for my wife hers is shopping and eating. i don't get mad at her when she spends her dough, and in return she shouldn't either.
